Until yesterday I had been dealing with both parties equally however Dr Bob Such's illness made it obvious to me that it was very important for South Australians to resolve this matter urgently.We need to get some stability out there for the business community and the people of South Australia.I note that it's not a decision that will please everybody but my sole motivation has been to arrive at a decision that is right for South Australia and the stability of this state.I'll be able to get those concerns that have been brought to me by those many, many people over the last week to the Cabinet to ensure that the concerns of people of regional South Australia are heard.

I think this is an indication that Mr Brock and I believe that it's crucial that we give the people of South Australia the certainty and stability they need.You've seen the speculation, questions of, talk of chaos, talk of uncertainty, we've now delivered certainty and stability.

More than 92,000 people more voted for the Liberal Party with their first preference than the Labor Party so to me there is clearly no mandate whatsoever for Jay Weatherill to form government.Labor has no mandate whatsoever, they dropped three seats, lost three ministers at this election.

My advice to him is 'now you've made a decision stick to it and make the thing work, you'll be attacked from all sides and anything that's wrong will be blamed on you rather than the incumbent government of the day'.

A fabulous move for the whole of South Australia, regional South Australia contributes so much to the economy and to the society and culture and it's been overlooked for way too long.Stability, at long last we can get on with getting on in South Australia, so stability for the business sector, stability for knowing where the next four years is going to lie.

I think Mr Brock has made a decision that he feels is very hard and let's just hope it's the right one and let's see the state be a great state, like it was when I first moved here

There is provision in the constitution for an earlier election to be called out of our four-year term but that's the last case scenario. I think the Governor will be quite adamant he'd like to see this parliament work and I think most South Australians don't want the expense and delay of having another election
